Art III; Sec 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. (US Constitution)
Anybody care to explain how what Lee and Jackson did wasn't treason? Or, explain why we should honor them?
They withdrew from the Union, much like the Soviet satellite countries did from the Soviet Union, did you call those people traitors also? Does you opinion only apply to the folks you disagree with? Do you really believe a free people don't have a right to govern themselves as they chose?
The Soviets called them traitors.
You wanna secede? Knock yourself out. Don't expect the U.S. to recognize that right - you'll have to fight tooth and nail for it. If you win, you'll be remembered in your new nation as a patriot. If you lose - you'll be remembered as a terrorist and a traitor by everyone.
Right now, most just view you as a little off.
